Default Skank-o-riffic!

Here in Oregon, my daily driver takes on a certain "patina" from all the grime...

One of these days I'll wash it... once there's a few minutes of daylight after work.

Mines not too much different. I live up a gravel road with puddles. Guess I got a Carrera 4 for a reason!

Nice! I'm surprised I never see your car, as much as you drive it.

If it makes you feel any better, I've not washed mine since July!

I've promised myself no more black cars. I never wanted a black one and I always find myself in one. All three of my Porsches have been black. No more! Those things get dirty by just looking at them

I commute from SW into the Macadam area... I am up and down Macadam a lot during the day. You have probably seen me before.

There are lots of 964s in my area, including a red cabrio parked next to mine often...

Default and it's sunny today!

Tom, didn't your mother always tell you that your personal beauty lies within.

Hey, there's a white 993 TT that just started showing up the neighborhood by my office. Somehow it's always clean. Also there's a neat 996 Turbo that lives up the street from me. It's parked outside on the street, seemingly year-round, rain (snow) or shine.

Dan.

Mine is crusty and coated - White is definitly the way to go if you actually A) drive it & B) don't want to spend your life detailing your car (its nice but not every day)

i'm going to have to wash it next week to put in a new windshield

Polar silver is pretty good for not showing the dirt, by the by. What about red? (Never had a red car.)

Red does not do to well dirty. Mine looks terrible, but it's too damn cold to do anything about it.

Are you doing the work, or a shop? Price on the new glass?

Try the "Optimum No Rinse" product from Detailers Domain - works well in cold weather - do it in the garage!
